[Edit] There's no law that says budget compact cars must be devoid of power, performance, and fun. So Mazda's not breaking any rules with its sporty 2008 MAZDA3 sedan and hatchback, which come tuned with a slightly stiffer suspension and a choice of two different DOHC inline-four engines in a range of eight trims.
The front-wheel drive 2008 MAZDA3 rates highly with owners and critics for precise handling and a more aggressive engine when compared to similar models, such as the new Honda Civic. Sedans come in two different i models, including Sport and Touring and feature a 2.0-liter, 148-horsepower inline four with variable valve timing and choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. The s lineup includes sedans and hatchbacks and adds a Grand Touring trim (with leather seats, a trip computer, and automatic headlights). The s line is powered by a 2.3-liter, 156-hp inline four and choice of 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic. These trims ride on larger 15-inch wheels and add a body-colored grille, cruise control, power features, and leather accents to the standard features. An optional Sport Package comes standard on the s Touring and the hatchbacks, adding 17-inch wheels, foglights, and side sills.
The 2008 MAZDA3 doesn't rank as high as its competitors in safety. The base i trims feature dual front airbags and 4-wheel disc brakes, and ABS brakes are standard only in the s cars, with the option to add traction and stability control. New for 2008 are standard side impact and side curtain airbags for the s models. The 2008 MAZDA3 seats four comfortably, with 11 cubic feet of trunk room in the sedan and 17 cubic feet in the hatch. With the rear seats folded down in the hatch, capacity expands to 44 cubic feet. Owners relish the fun driving experience provided by the relatively affordable MAZDA3. Complaints mention the noticeable road noise, cheaply-made sun visors, and lack of a remote trunk opening function.
